We haven't burned anything down yet. So there's no way anyone could say we are overreacting.

Of course, he is by extension because he made the hire.

But I also think Clark is an extremely hands-off owner that picks a guy and then just lets him roll. Or in this case, crawl.

Maybe he does believe in all this bullshit Pioli is selling, because he's done nothing to make me believe he's embarrassed by bad PR of the last year.



The Patriot Way is the Patriot's Way.

Tom Dimitroff has put together a pretty good team down in Atlanta, and he's done it HIS way. He created a new identity for the organization. Sure, you can make the argument that they haven't won anything, but they've also been unfortunate to get matched up with the NFC SB representative in their first playoff game the past two seasons.

We need someone that will create a unique identity for this franchise, instead of just trying to copy another team's without the two most important pieces of the puzzle - a HOF QB and HOF HC.

The Patriot Way is nothing without Brady and Belichick.

I think the Patriot way is Tom Brady period.

I give some credit to Belicheck, but I think he inherited a solid cast of veterans from the Parcells era...McGinest, Law, Bruschi, Milloy, Vinetieri....plus a good coach in Romeo...This was the Pats team in a nutshell...Sometimes I think Belicheck gets far more credit then he actually deserves. Without that core cast he is nothing.

you know hope and faith is lost when fans just want to win a playoff game and nothing else.

His nothing is still better than KC's nothing.

If someone like Saunders was really in the equation and we passed in favor of this rotten fruit fallen from the Tree we ought to publicly let Pioli know that enough is enough!

Any volunteers?

Dear Douchebag (a.k.a. Pioli),

We as a fan whole have decided that your incompetence has left a mark on this organization that resembles a Raider sized shit stain on this (used to be) wonderful franchise. Your repeated attempts to half ass your job in bringing in an actual QB that would help us win and every year going through a new "bottom of the barrel" OC switch can only be viewed as a way to get just enough wins and line the pockets of the Chiefs organization without accomplishing anything. The fact that Clark Hunt continues to support your decisions without stepping in shows he has no balls at all and is an embarrassment to what his father stood and fought for. SHAME ON YOU CLARK! The NFL world now looks at the Chiefs as a joke and Pioli as a ****ing reerun. On behalf of all of us at Chiefs Planet, go suck a dick!

Sincerely **** YOU

[Big Chief Homer]

I wish I was more like my father.........He was a Giants fan

[penguinz]

It is all part of the plan. They are going to sign peyton and he will run the offense.

The places where he has been OC, first Cleveland, that was just a joke. I don't know any OC who can coordinate a good offense with the likes of Seneca Wallace and a rookie Colt McCoy. McCoy actually regressed this year once Daboll left. Who did they have on offense, Hillis and Cribbs? That's a pathetic offense personnel-wise. Then, he goes to Miami. No training camp, and your starting QB gets hurt. So you have to try and get things done with Matt Moore, who was horrible the year before. But they were able to eventually get Moore playing well, and turned Reggie Bush into a legit running back. That's at least encouraging.

Everything I've read so far about the guy describes him as high energy, bright, well prepared, passionate, and not afraid of thinking outside the box and being creative on offense (I guess you have to when you don't have legit playmakers). So, again, this is not a hire that excites me, but it's not an unexpected hire. And because it is what it is, I'll try to look at some positives and get to know the guy better and hope that it works out positively. Most of the time with offensive coaches, it's more about fit and talent on offense than anything (see Mike McCarthy who was hired by the Packers despite coordinating the 31st ranked offense in the NFL the year they got him)...

Yeah, I pretty much agree with this. It's obvious Pioli is doubling down on Cassel, and that is the real issue. Given that, Daboll was the obvious choice. We weren't going to switch to the Air Coryell offense with Matt F'n Cassel under center.

You're a bleeding vagina.

Please, regale us with stories that detail the brilliance of Brian Schottenheimer.

Oh, wait, you're too busy hanging off of Jeff Fisher's nuts to notice minor details, like hiring a useless bastard to OC.

All of you people freaking out about this are the same exact reeruns who say you NEED a franchise QB. Derp dee derp, but OC's who are shackled with terrible QB's are bad, and ones who take jobs with great QB's are smart?

Am I the ONLY person who sees the rather stupid circular logic that kind of assessment is based around?

Now here's why I don't like it: Pioli did the safe thing AGAIN. He hired what he was familiar with. Here's another thing that pisses me off: I think this has a lot to do with Matt Cassel. We bring in another Earhardt-Perkins guy because it's the only offense Cassel knows and he apparently struggled with the minor changes in philosophy between NE, Haley, and Weis (all of whom run the same system!). Not only that, but because the system changes so little it doesn't create a learning curve that would expose Cassel's lack of actual ability in a competition with another QB.

The positive in this is that it would require the least transition because it's the same system.

The problem is that his background won't excite anyone. Still though, fans over-rate coordinators. Talent is more important. Get a better QB. As long as he understands 'run on 3rd and short" and 'pass on 3rd and long", it's up to the talent to execute. I'm sick of us blaming coordinators instead of fixing the talent issues. We did it with the defense during the DV years. We need a better QB, and until we get one we'll be cycling through OC's.

I don't like the hire, but it's not so much an indictment on Daboll's abilities, which I think are hard to discern. I don't like it because it's exactly who I expected us to hire. Safe and predictable. Blah.

Well said, and I could not agree more.

Did you happen to notice how Lamar Hunt ran things for the last 30 years of his life?

He was even less involved than Clark.

Ownership has been shit ever since Lamar Hunt got what he wanted when he started this thing, an NFL franchise.

Sadly, I'm beginning to sense that you're really wrong on point #1. We heard that Clark demands that this organization be run like his days at Goldman Sachs, so some of the crazy might have a lot to do with Hunt. Another thing I read in Gretz's piece the other day bothered me. The claim was that Haley got frustrated because every single minute decision had to include "Dallas." You know what that means? That sure sounds to me like Hunt is micro-managing Pioli's micromanagement. Double micromanaging.

On this one, though, you're right. This one really reeks of Pioli.

Step 1: Are you from the Parcells tree?
Step 2: Are you still available to coordinate an offense?
Step 3: I forgot... did you say you were from the tree? Just double checking

Do we know for sure this was for the OC pos and that it is really a done deal?
